It is typical of Intel and AMD to leapfrog each other with new technologies, but it seems to me that when AMD comes out with a new architecture, it dominates Intel's products more than Intel dominated AMD's older series. This is probably the case right now. The X2 and FX series aren't exactly getting rocked, it fact, they're usually just a bit behind, but also lower in prices.

If AMD is focused on the "family market," then I'm all fine with that. A proccessor of that kind is more likely to be made for the overclocking communities, sort of like RAM companies like OCZ handle their business.

I bought myself 2 AMD cpus so far and I'm very satisfied with them. They cost me chump change and perform beautifully; random crashes, ect. is a myth to me now. They readily run anything I throw at it and never ever overheat.

I don't care both of them work fine for me ....

Well I agree with your statements in the bigginging of the post.

But about overheating modern central processing units have controllers for overheating that is why they don't overheat in fact if you run it so much that it is closing overheated speed then it automatically shuts down. However you can still overheat your processor if you play with clock speed and then have proper fan adjusted. And so on.

Important thing is that this is property of both AMD and Intel CPU's.

AMD Processors have a much cooler running temperature than Intel's (not overclocked or underclocked). I personally would choose Intel over AMD, but since Intel is also a research company, its processors aren't as stable as AMD's.

Yes AMD has indeed lower working tempereture but that is just because they have better architecture which allows them to do more operations on lower speeds opposing to the Intel's processing units. Also what do you think that Intel is reascherching company both companies are researching their new processors and it depend only on the solution they have found which produces good or bad processor or stable.

Intel often puts or shell I say pushes theirs new broducts on the market without even completing all the tests. That's why they often have problems with returns of their processors to them and similar scandals. While AMD on the other hand does not rush research process and when their product comes to the market they have nice stable and good working unit at lower price comparing to the Intel's processors.

Intel is better cause they are strong and stay strong but AMD will get down by the time thats my oppinion

[PlugComputers]

Intel always has the newest technology, if you want the latest, greatest, and fastest, Intel is the way to go. AMD usually comes out with the same technology a few months after Intel and drives the prices of both the Intel and AMD version of the chip.

Due to the fact that we are involved in the custom computer market, people always want the best. If you're willing to pay a little extra, newer Intel technology is definately faster.

Since Intel was the first to make a microchip processor and successfully market it, they will always be on top. And plus, Intel currently outperforms AMD.

Everyone knows 'Intel Inside' though they may not know what the hell it means or why they would want a computer with it, they know they want the computer that has the Intel logo on it.

Basically, they have the computer-illeterate people hands down.

Plus, now Intels are also in Macs.

This can not be the real reason I want to say you cannot reason in this way without any arguments. However if you consider the size and power of company. Because this is only what they have technical solutions are better from AMD and they are cheaper and when you add this to their excelent performance it seems like AMD has much more pluses then Intel.

Could you please elaborate your response a bit more.

OK here are some more things Intel does not out performes AMD because AMD processor X2 cna handle INtel's double core in the number of operations per second and it is for some 1.5 or even 2 times cheaper and it is heating less although working on a bit higher temperature.

Intel always has new technology but this technology is worst then when similar technology comes from AMD labs. As Intel is rushing its own production and not checking their processors that's why it often happens that they have stockpiles of processors they cannot sell.

And what do you mean Intel's are in Macs this does not mean anything at all.

Also Intels are in XBOX but only reason for this was that they stockpiled processors and could not sell them becaus really bad performance and overheating processors then Microsoft obtained these processors for half the price and sold them inside of XBox.

And for the end I would like to point out that we are discussing here which processors are better and not which company has better marketing and more money to put into the marketing projects. If company has to put a lot of money in marketing then their product probably is not that good. As AMD doesn't have so much marketing and they are still selling bunch of processors.

If intel has its hands on the computer or shell I say hardware illiterate people this only means they are cheking Intel commercials and nothing more, maybe Intel's stereoidic CPU speeds.

hi!


I´m prefer the Intel. In my opinion is the best.

"Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC; SEHK: 4335) is the world's largest semiconductor company and the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in many personal computers. Founded in 1968 as Integrated Electronics Corporation and based in Santa Clara, California, USA, Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network cards and ICs, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors, and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, Intel's successful "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its Pentium processor household names.

Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until the early 1980s. While Intel created the first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the creation of the personal computer (PC) that this became their primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs and in fostering the rapid growth of the PC industry. During this period Intel became the de facto monopoly supplier of microprocessors for PCs, and was known for aggressive tactics in defense of its market position, as well as a struggle with Microsoft for control over the direction of the PC industry.

By the early 2000s, Microsoft had passed Intel in power in the PC industry, and competitors had emerged in the advanced microprocessor market. Intel's November 2006 stock market capitalization was less than one-quarter of its 2000 high, and only 40% of Microsoft's."
